SPECIFICATION arming part of Leiters'rat'ent INQ., 535,394, daten-Augustss, 1893i. A

Application neaA october 9, i893. v

Beit known that I, HAMPTON WOODS, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Chicago,

in the county of Cook and State of Illinois,` have invented certain vnew and useful'Improvenients in WaterfPuriiers and I do hereby'declare the following to be a full, clear, and

enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to letters of reference marked thereon, whichforms a part of this specification.

The present invention has in view the purification of water for steam boilers and the current acting on the feed water and its impurities before Ait enters the boiler. In apf pliances of this class as heretofore made volvbe replaced from time to time and are there? fore attended with considerable expense and possible injury to the boiler. Devices employing a magneto electric current havealso with the current has been takenfrom an out- 'side source orbattery or generated by spc- `cial dynamo rindependent of the purifier, though it may 'be as an adjunct thereto. Such machines require power from an outinvolve additional care and attention.

The object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus of the character em,- ploying a magneto electric current but whichA shall be complete and self contained, and to this end I employ the flow of water therethrough or the power of thecurrent of water fed to the boiler to operate an electric generator and develop an electric current'which acting on the water and impurities flowing through the device performs its work of purilication; and the invention consists, of the novel combination and arrangement of parts,

scribed, and pointed out in the claims.

The accompanying drawlug represents a A is a preferably cylindrical shell or gland l having a head A,and a head Aihaving a reseau in, 487.655. on mam' duced preferablyeylindrical extensionl a. to which is connected the outtlow'pipec.`

L is the power shaft carrying, on that portion.th`ereof within the reduced of the shell or gland A, a water motor or prof peller b, and the shaft of which. is extended; 'through the rear' head m of the purifier chamf ber, M, and the armature of a small generator extension a. 5`5

N, is mounted yon this rearwardly extended-6o shaft. The water enters lthe purifier cham- -ber through the pipe Mand the circuit'wires mn', from the generator are coupled to electrodes, O and P, in contact with the water flowing through the pnrier. One of the elec- 65 trodes, O, is constructed inthe form of a hopper through which the shaft Lpasses, and the other electrode P, of a cone shape, is car.-

ried by the shaft within the hopper. The generator may be suitably incased in a cham. 7o

ber R nearthe water purifier chamber 4and closed in so as to be protected from dust, yet readily accessible for attention and supervision.

Having thus described my'invention, claim as new, Paten-t, is 1. The combination of a water motor and an electric generator arranged on al common and desire to secure by Letters what'I 75 shaft, a gland in a'feedwater passage to a 8e boiler containing said water motor, and anelectric circuit from the generator having terminals at opposite points in the feedwater passage, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination of a water motor and an electric generator arranged on a common shaft, a water purifying chamber having inlet and outlet pipes to adapt it to form the feed water passage to a boiler, with one of 9o said pipes containing said water motor, and au electric circuit from lthe generatorhaving,

yterminals at opposite points in thei water purifying chamber, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

95 In testimony whereof I affix my signature in nesscs.
